Does Selphyl Work?

Can Injecting Your Blood Into Your Face Make You Look Younger?

A new procedure called the Selphyl System (self-fill, get it?) is purporting to "rejuvenate" patients (like the woman at right) by drawing blood, then using a centrifuge to separate the components out. Then, the platelets and fibrin are injected back into the face.

Supposedly, your body reacts to the injections by producing a bunch of collagen, thereby making your face appear fuller over time. Results take three weeks to develop and last for up to 18 months, and the procedure costs about $1,100. Not for me, but I can see it creating a lot of interest. What do you think?

This procedure is a total rip off! Absolutely does not work. Had it done 5 weeks ago and the only thing I got for my money was a lot of bruises with some swelling for about a week. :-( Don't waste your money.

Selphyl does not work, it is a joke. I went to a popular, licensed plastic surgeon who recommended the Selphyl, or the vampire face lift. The proceedure is supossed to not have any down time - ha! I had two black eyes with the skin under my eyes being swollen and blood red. I looked like I had been beaten. .I was still hopeful it would work, I had the large pack, or dose, whatever. But Selphyl does not work! I have had no results at all and the skin under my eyes was so stretched out from the swelling and brusing that it is now sagging. I am over 8 weeks in - they say by 8 weeks you will have results...No results. Other injectables have worked for me in the past. I am only 49 so there is no reason I would be an unusual case. Do not waste your money on this product.
